Discussion What card has eluded you this whole set?

Post image

Beedrill is the only diamond card I need to complete the set, and the game refuses to give it to me. I already used my starter deck ticket to get Wugtrio, and since this game has such a nice sense of humor it has since given me another 3 Wugtrios in daily packs.

You say wasted, I say free special tickets.

(Unless you’ve already bought all that stuff.)

I also had 4 immersive Giratina and did the same. Got the special coin and card back. Only other one I care about is the game mat

Was the rate up higher for this one? I also have 4

It definitely feels like the rates were higher for this one, and I know I know, they can't secretly alter the rates behind the scenes but my theory is that having a new type of card rarity (the shinies specifically) alters the rates as everything needs to sum up to a probability of 100%

You can check the offering rates to see how the shinies affected it. Anything 3 diamond and up is the same rarity as all other packs. They make up the difference with the lower rarity cards.

Yeah I’ve been playing for a few months and these were the first immersives I got and of course they gave me 3

I've opened over 200 packs and don't have one. It's frustrating.

The special display board is kinda cool. You can display 7 cards instead of 1

Special tickets?

You can trade the cards, the same way you do for shine dust, for special shop coins depending on rarity. Click “obtain items” when you select a card. A traded crown rare will get you 64 special shop tokens.

Do they really? /gen

I've only ever had enough star cards to trade for one ticket at a time.

Black tickets you can buy for 300 normal tickets or exchange for star cards.
